What's a Vintage Girl to Drive?

To be an authentically vintage gal, I guess I should be driving a car with collector plates, but my husband and I are not into restorations, and I really love air conditioning and air bags. Soooo this is what I drive!

A Chrysler PT Cruiser! AND IT'S GETTING TO BE VINTAGE! It's a 2002. I am the original owner, and it has 58,000 miles on it. The PT Cruiser was designed with the look of the 1930's street rods. To me, the PT Cruiser does have a vintage look, and heaven knows, I HAD to have one when they first came out. This is the interior:

I have never been sorry that I bought one! They were a fad! They were fun! I haven't had a speck of trouble with mine. And best of all, I still love it!

I own a 2007 Cruiser.....white...and I love my car, too. Very reliable, comfortable and practical. I've even carried bales of hay in nine. LOL...My daughter says "It looks just like you(style)!" LOVE MINE.

I don't own one, but they are so neat! Have fun driving it, and don't let the car "hear" you bragging on it. I always say if your car "hears" you brag on it, that's when it starts giving you trouble. Somehow, cars just know...LOL just kidding.

No PT cruiser for me even though I wanted one! I drive a Mercury Sable, 2002, with 74,000 miles on it. We keep our cars for at least 10 years, take very good care of them, and I don't like paying for a car! I love the color of yours, and you car looks so clean, can't say the same about mine! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – it helped make the party a success!

She looks brand new! what a doll of a car..I do not own a PT cruiser, but have always loved seeing them drive by. I drive a 2012 Honda CRV. I know boring, Right! Wells at least it's really great on gas and will run for ever. Have a sweet day,Elizabeth

My sweet neighbor owns one and loves it. You sure have low mileage. I drive a Mini Cooper and bought it with 33K on it and now it has 102K on it but we drive 140 miles round trip between our old house and the yellow house from the weekend to the middle of the week and we would not trade all our complexities for the world.

This is great! I love good car stories. We have been doing slug bugs (you get hit in the arm) when we see a VW bug. We do this car game with my 7 year old, my husband started it! My son decided to also do cruiser bruiser! Do you ever see anyone punching someone when you drive by!? LOLSherry

I think they are adorable and I LOVE the vintage look. My cousin restores vintage cars and has the 1956 Ford my parents drove. So you have a wall phone!!! I looked for a harvest gold wall phone like we had growing up, but kept getting outbid on ebay.

I'm so glad you wrote this post! I've wanted one ever since they came out, but I haven't heard anyone comment on them--good, bad, or otherwise. There's a red one for sale just down the road from me. I love red and the way it does look vintage! Thanks to your post, I may just take it for a test run!

So nice to meet a fellow PT owner! Yours is in great shape, low miles, yippee!Mine is a 2005, Cool Vanilla, big American flag with a superimposed eagle in the back window, and red/white/blue pinstriping. We are members of the Treasure Valley PT's, a car club, hence the "theme" of my car. We have a ball with all our fellow Cruisers. We like to say we "cruise to eat", but we sure do visit some really neat places. As long as I have had my PT I still feel young behind the wheel.
